Your check-engine light is on. Now what?

Steady or flashing, what the light is telling you, and why a diagnostic scan comes before any repair.

Diagnostics

The check-engine light means the car's computer has stored a fault code. The code tells us where to look, not always what to replace.

Steady light

The car has found a fault but it isn't urgent. Drive gently and book a diagnosis soon.

Flashing light

This usually means a misfire that can damage the catalytic converter. Slow down, stop when it's safe, and call us.

What a diagnosis involves

We connect a scanner, read the stored codes, look at live sensor data, and then inspect the part the data points to. You get a list of what we found before any work starts.
